UK's First Hydrogen Training Centre Opens in Fife College for Green Energy Transition
Key Ideas
  • The hydrogen training centre at Fife College aims to upskill over 100 Gas Safe engineers for converting homes from natural gas to hydrogen, supporting SGN's H100 Fife project.
  • Engineers will gain hands-on experience with hydrogen appliances and systems from leading manufacturers to ensure safety in installing and maintaining hydrogen technologies.
  • The center's opening marks a significant milestone in the transition to green energy, empowering workers and shaping the future of the gas industry in line with the UK's net-zero goals.
  • Partnerships between SGN, Fife College, and industry stakeholders demonstrate a collaborative effort to train engineers and prepare them for the challenges of the energy transition.
The UK's first hydrogen training center for gas engineers has been inaugurated at Fife College in Fife. The center aims to train more than 100 Gas Safe engineers this year to convert homes from natural gas to hydrogen as part of SGN's green hydrogen trial, H100 Fife. This project will supply green hydrogen to homes in Levenmouth through a specialized network. Engineers will receive practical training on hydrogen appliances and systems from top manufacturers like Baxi and Worcester Bosch to ensure their proficiency in installing and maintaining hydrogen technologies. The opening of this center is a significant step in the H100 Fife project, which plans to establish a comprehensive green hydrogen network for heating and cooking in hundreds of local homes. The initiative has garnered positive feedback from industry figures like Gary Smith of GMB and Simon Kilonback of SGN, highlighting the importance of upskilling workers for the transition to green energy. Training will be delivered by expert trainers with support from industry professionals, emphasizing collaboration between SGN, Fife College, and key stakeholders. The project also involves training Fife Council staff to future-proof local engineers. Overall, the center's establishment signifies a proactive approach towards addressing the challenges of the energy transition and driving progress towards a net-zero future.
